Hi everyone! "Real" life was exhausting for the past coupla days...had to work, run errands, etc. And husband surprised me by taking me out last night for dinner, then to a bar to hear some excellent blues played by one of our favorite live bands, "Howard and the White Boys",http://howardandthewhiteboys.net/fr_hwb.cfm bunch of guys who got together back in their college days at Northern Illinois University, right after I graduated from there. They've been playing ever since, often at places like Buddy Guy's Legends, the Chicago Blues-fest, etc. We listened, had a few drinks, and danced up a storm! Had a wonderful time!

Come on and party with me for a little while before the game starts. I'll be sharing things like how to read Roman numerals, and why the Superbowl games use them when not many know what they are...also, I'll have recipes for things like my SIL's great Bean Dip, a quick guacamole recipe that's easy to make using stuff you probably have (along with an avocado), and my husband's family recipe for sloppy joe's, which is what we'll be having for dinner. Oh, and of course, I'll be sharing excerpts from my latest book, Mayan Prophecy Fulfilled, which came out on Friday. The sequel to Prophecy of the Undead, deals with how humans respond when the aliens return to our planet, determined to take many of us back with them. Why? Hint: vampires.

Come on over and have a drink with me while we discuss the state of the world and how to make it a tastier place. I'll even offer a few eBooks for prizes. See you later!
